Lebuh Chulia, George Town, Penang
Order: Dry wantan mee with char siew, handmade wantan and crispy lard
The headline act of the Chulia Street night hawker strip, going for close to 50 years and now run by the founder's son. Springy noodles, generous char siew and lard bits - the queue is part of the ritual.
Lebuh Campbell, George Town, Penang
Order: Bamboo-pressed Cantonese wonton noodle soup
Noodle dough is still kneaded with a bamboo pole at the shopfront, Hong Kong old-school style, and Michelin has taken notice. The springy noodles and plump shrimp wontons make this Penang's top wantan mee.
Lebuh Carnarvon, George Town, Penang
Order: Light-sauce wantan mee with char siew and crackling roast pork
A sit-down wantan mee shop famous as much for its roast meats as its noodles - the char siew is rated among the island's best. Busy with old-timers all morning.
Lebuh Carnarvon, George Town, Penang
Order: Kon lou (tossed) wantan mee
A Carnarvon Street name that keeps popping up when Penangites argue about the island's best wantan mee. Classic dark-sauce tossed noodles done right.

Taman Chai Leng, Perai, Penang
Order: Wantan mee with char siew
Mainland food hunters swear Perai does the best char siew in Penang, and this coffee shop is where they point. Honey-glazed pork over springy wantan mee.

Pek Kong Cheng, Bukit Mertajam, Penang
Order: White (kon lou) wantan mee
Bukit Mertajam's old-town hawker hub serves a pale, lightly sauced wantan mee that islanders say you can't find across the channel. A proper BM breakfast.
